Our annual Green-in-Motion fundraiser brings awareness to sustainable living practices, while raising money to help send children to camp. Expanding on the traditional walk/run event, we invite everyone to come out and enjoy the outdoors using any form of "human-powered transportation", e.g. walk, run, rollerblade, unicycle, bike, trike, wheelchair, etc. There will also be environmental activities, entertainment, refreshments, prizes, and free tours of our Environment Centre – one of Canada’s most sustainable buildings! We go rain or shine. Bring the whole family - children, parents, grandparents… all ages welcome!
